What i10 means on your Electrolux dishwasher (electrolux i10 error)
An electrolux i10 error means the control did not sense enough incoming water within the allotted fill time on your Electrolux dishwasher. The unit expects a set amount of water during fill, and when the level stays low it stops rather than run a wash cycle without enough water. It usually points to a supply-side restriction rather than a control failure.
Symptoms
The signs below help confirm you are dealing with this condition rather than a different problem on your Electrolux dishwasher. You may notice one of them or several together, and they can appear gradually or suddenly after a power event, a wash or cook cycle, a spill, or recent installation or service.
- The dishwasher stops early in the cycle
- Dishes come out dry or still dirty
- There is little or no water audible filling the tub
- A fill step that runs long and then times out
Common causes
Several different problems can produce these symptoms. Working through the most likely causes in order separates a quick owner-level check from a problem that needs trained service and the correct Electrolux parts.
- Supply tap closed or low household pressure — the water tap feeding the dishwasher is not fully open, or pressure is weak
- Simultaneous water draw elsewhere in the house — a load of laundry or another tap pulls pressure away during fill
- Kinked or damaged inlet hose — the fill hose behind the unit is crimped or split
- Clogged inlet-hose filter — mineral scale has blocked the small screen where the hose meets the valve, or (on some installs) a knockout/blanking plug was never removed
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Work through these checks in order before calling for service. Stop wherever you are unsure, or where mains voltage, gas, a hot oven cavity, water, or a sealed component is involved, and hand the rest to a qualified technician.
- Confirm the water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open and check that nothing else in the house is drawing water at the same time.
- Inspect the inlet hose behind the unit for kinks or damage.
- Turn off the water supply, then clean the inlet-hose filter/screen where the hose connects to the valve.
- On a new install, confirm any knockout or blanking plug was removed, then restart the cycle.
Parts a technician may replace
Depending on what the diagnosis shows, a technician may inspect, test, or replace the water supply valve, inlet hose, inlet-hose filter/screen, and knockout plug. The correct part for your Electrolux dishwasher is matched from the model and serial number, and genuine OEM components are fitted through trusted parts suppliers rather than generic substitutes so performance, safety, and the appliance long working life are all protected. Confirming the failed part before ordering avoids replacing more than the problem actually requires.
When to call a technician
i10 that returns once the tap, hose, and filter are confirmed clear — or a visibly damaged inlet hose — needs an experienced technician to test or replace the water inlet valve and hose. This condition is rated Medium severity, so there is no emergency — but if the same i10 keeps returning after the checks above, a technician should confirm the cause before any part is replaced.
